Just hit 120,000 on the odometer

• Cams and rocker arms
• Oil cooler
• Rear main seal
• Valve cover (cracked one when prying it off)
• PCV
• Spark plugs at 60k and 100k

What? No fear, drama? Go away!

This is what most all folks, my guess over 90% experience.

My built-in-2017 2018 JLUR just hit 120,000 miles and keeps on ticking. And no, thankfully, not that ticking.

I just changed the oil and there are no sparkles, no coolant in it, all of the expected oil is accounted for, and everything is still running smoothly. I still get the occasional pinging at lower speeds when hitting certain RPMs before a shift, but the frequency in which this occurs has actually diminished since switching to 5W30 oil.

Of course, I haven't reached this milestone without the typical Pentastar flaws and I feel like I've fixed just about every oil leak you can have on this engine twice, but 8 years later, this thing has yet to throw a CEL, not perform as designed, nor leave me stranded anywhere. I've had a blast and will continue to run it until the engine inevitably gives up the ghost and I make a questionable financial decision to throw a Hemi in it.

Here is what's been fixed/replaced over the years:

• Cams and rocker arms
• Oil cooler
• Rear main seal
• Valve cover (cracked one when prying it off)
• PCV
• Spark plugs at 60k and 100k

I'm certainly not holding my breath for another 120k, but I'll keep driving this thing until it can be driven no more.

I appreciate the list, Just curious. Any other non engine related issues worth noting.

Hoping for similar on my 2025.

No rust or corrosion on a 2018 is impressive from what I've read.

I’m happy that you are happy and that’s really all that matters but 120k with that list is not inspiring to me.

I believe I e heard plenty of people making that milage with either nothing or an oil cooler swap.

Again, not trying to throw shade or be a jerk…you’re happy…that’s all that matters…just doesn’t seem like it’s milage brag post worthy IMO
